According to Fabrizio Romano, Metinho is on his way to the Etihad Stadium after Manchester City announced the signing of Kayky.
The Brazilian wonderkid ‘will sign’ a five-year contract with the Citizens, before joining Troyes on loan.
In what is exciting news for Manchester City fans, Metinho has been compared to Paul Pogba.
The Guardian revealed that some Fluminense supporters call the 18-year-old “Pogbinha” – interesting stuff.
It seems as if Pep Guardiola has just hoovered up two of Brazil’s biggest talents.
In Kayky’s case, the man who Manchester City announced yesterday has been compared to Neymar.
It was the Daily Mail who compared the 17-year-old to the £200 million Paris Saint-Germain forward.
Romano claims that the deal for Metinho will cost Manchester City just €5 million (£4.4 million).
In our view, these are two very exciting additions for the Citizens.
Brazilian wonderkids are always worth keeping an eye on, as South America has been so stranger to producing world-class talent before.
If Manchester City really have found the next Pogba and Neymar for bargain fees, we’ll look back on this double deal as one of the greatest of all time.
For now, let’s allow them to develop at their own pace – putting too much pressure on them might negatively impact their development.
